Not strictly a MythTV question, but is there a util (apart from backup/restore) to defrag XFS? My recording partition is getting very sluggish after being in use for a while? How much space are you using? I believe xfs performance drops as the drive approaches 100% utilization.. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

My recording partition is getting very sluggish after being in use for a while? you don't need to defrag *nix file systems. they (especially the newer ones) are very good at cleaning themselves. how is it sluggish and what else is your machine doing? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Read up on the man pages, or do some googling. This page (http://oss.sgi.com/archives/linux-xfs/2005-01/msg00091.html) mentions a xfs_fsr (filesystem reorganizer) program. Maybe that might do the trick. Josh ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
